A concessionária espanhola Aena informou, nesta terça-feira (13), que buscará aumentar o número de destinos a partir do Aeroporto Internacional do Rio de Janeiro (Tom Jobim/Galeão) e aumentar a frequência de voos no terminal. A empresa assumiu a concessão do aeroporto carioca na semana passada. O contrato vale até 2039. Notícias relacionadas:Galeão é arrematado por R$ 2,9 bilhões pela espanhola Aena.Em coletiva de imprensa, a Aena anunciou aumento em mais de 50 frequências semanais para nove destinos internacionais – Paris, Miami, Frankfurt, Lisboa, Porto, Santiago, Córdoba, Atlanta e Panamá –, até janeiro de 2027. A empresa também anunciou a retomada ou abertura de voos para nove cidades estrangeiras, no mesmo período: Nova York, Dallas, Toronto, Montreal, Assunção, Salta, Mendoza, Rosario e Lima. De acordo com a Aena, o Galeão fechou 2025 com uma movimentação de 17,5 milhões de passageiros e deve fechar este ano a cerca de 19 milhões. A capacidade é de 37 milhões de passageiros por ano. "O Brasil precisa de mais grandes aeroportos vocacionados ao turismo internacional e, sem dúvida alguma, além do aeroporto de Guarulhos, essa é a vocação do aeroporto do Galeão. Pela sua infraestrutura, pela sua capacidade já aqui preparada para isso, mas também pela vocação do Rio de Janeiro, pelas suas belezas naturais, culturais”, disse o ministro de Portos e Aeroportos, Tomé Franca. Investimentos A Aena também informou que está coordenando investimentos de R$ 1 bilhão a serem feitos por parceiros no prazo de três anos, como a construção de um hotel com pelo menos 232 quartos, no prédio entre os dois terminais; a construção de um novo galpão logístico na área industrial; e um hangar de manutenção de aeronaves da Gol. A empresa informou que também estão previstas reformas na estrutura do aeroporto, como elevadores e esteiras de bagagens, mas não informou o quanto investirá nos terminais. Sobre a reabertura do terminal 1, fechado há dez anos, a concessionária informou que só avaliará a utilização do espaço, se houver demanda de novos voos e aumento do número de passageiros. O ministro de Portos e Aeroportos afirmou, durante a coletiva de imprensa, concedida ao lado de representantes da Aena, que o fim das restrições à movimentação de passageiros no Aeroporto Santos Dumont, que hoje é de 6,5 milhões por ano, está mantida para 2029. A limitação ao número de passageiros no Santos Dumont foi implementada em 2023, com o objetivo de possibilitar um aumento das operações de voo no Aeroporto do Galeão, que eram afetadas pelo aeródromo vizinho. Segundo o ministro, no entanto, caso haja uma prorrogação dessas restrições, haverá uma renegociação do contrato de concessão do Galeão, “em desfavor da concessionária”. “O que está previsto, no acordo, é que, em 2027, [o limite de passageiros no Santos Dumont] pode chegar a 8,5 milhões, em 2028, a 9,5 milhões e, em 2029, não haveria restrição. Isso é o que está previsto no acordo. Qualquer restrição menor do que essa, alterando esses números, há já previsto também no acordo o reequilíbrio contratual em desfavor da atual concessionária”, disse.
